Evaluation of numerical representations suitability for overlap detection

The bachelor´s thesis is focused on the evaluation of numerical representations suitability for overlap detection. Introductory part deals with description of deoxyribonucleic acid structure. The next part discribes sequencing methods and genome assembly techniques. Following part deals with numerical representations that convert DNA sequences into numerical form. Based on similarity metrics, the use of these representations is tested for the detection of overlaps between DNA reads. In the practical part of the thesis an algorithm for overlap detection is designed and implemented using numerical representations. The algorithm is then tested on data
